No. 236 Kidneys
Cut them lengthwise, score them, sprinkle some pepper and salt on them, and run a wire skewer through them to keep them from curling on the gridiron, that they may broil evenly. Broil them over a clear fire, turning them often till done. This will take about 10 or 12 minutes if you have a brisk fire, or fry them in butter, and make a gravy in the pan after taking the kidneys out by putting in a teaspoonful of flour; as soon as it looks brown, put in as much water as will make gravy. It will take 5 minutes more to fry them than to broil them. A few parsley leaves chopped fine, and mixed with a little butter, pepper, and salt, may be put on each kidney.
